Grocery Challenge+ May Budget Update

Ralphs: Annother $22.12 (i'm only having enough Money because i've eaten most of my meals at my DBF's house)

I'm a Fighter... Between the overtime and keeping a good budget (thanks to my birthday and the walk taking up some time) I finally have my Oh Crap money under $100!!!!! I also called up My old Greek Goddess Roommate, and she's supposed to pay me the rest of the money Tomorrow that she owes me, so well just have to see. So who knows what's going to happen, but I'll probably have to roll that money over to next month and try and tackle it with some overtime i have planned.

I might be dipping into that Stimulus check I got from the Government... Since i'm not going to be living with my mom for very long, i'm going to need to buy a refridgerator soon. hmmmm...

  2. Thanks Ashley! It's nice to see it get lower. I'm hoping by the end of the month I can get it down to $50.00

  3. Hi, I'm a new reader but wanted to give you a tip regarding the new fridge: check out craigslist! People give away free fridges or sell them really cheap all the time. You just have to pick them up.

    I'm enjoying your blog!
